What if your partner said this?

Break up with the person, and then call 911! NEVER let someone manipulate you with threats of suicide! With regard to calling 911, if the person is just telling you they will commit suicide in an effort to manipulate you then hopefully that person will learn their lesson after spending some time in a psychiatric ward, and if the person is sincere in being suicidal hopefully that person will begin to receive the help they need while they are inpatient.

You are not responsible for another person's actions with regard to self harm, and suicide. Please understand you should never encourage someone to harm themselves, but you also should not allow someone to attempt to control you through the manipulation that is emotional blackmail!

One of the best things that you can do for yourself is to cut ties with someone who uses threats of self harm, and or suicide to attempt to control you!

I agree with RoseIsabella, leave him and get him some help.

That's blackmail; and I would react by telling them that is their choice, suggest they call a suicide hotline; and then leave - and never look back.

You (and no one) is responsible for the independent actions of another adult (unless they are medically incapable or mentally deficient and you have accepted the legal responsibilities of being responsible for them; and even then there are things (like this) that you are likely not responsible for).

Don't give into blackmail. Even if you have done something that you are ashamed of or could cause issues if it become public. It's a lot easier to deal with the results by telling others that "someone" is blackmailing me about "X" -which did (or did not) happen, or has some truth - just not the way they present it). You are likely to receive (or hear) about this shortly. I'd rather deal with what actually occurred (despite potential great personal pain for me or others); than accept being blackmailed.

Not the easiest path; but, most people will rise to your defense... even if it puts your relationship between you and them on the rocks for a while (which gives you time to really patch that up - and improve your life).

I'd still leave. I ain't responsible if they off themselves. They chose to do that shit.

Over the years, I used to have friends that were like this. After a while I got so fed up with dealing with their crap that I just no longer gave a fuck. Now when someone tries that on me, I call their family so they could deal with it and then cut those friends out of my life. Life's too short to be controlled by someone's mental issues.

Kill them and just say “there” to the body before sitting in the rocking chair quietly for an hour.

I'd give them the phone number to the suicide crisis hotline as I was walking out the door.

I'll pinch myself. Not too hard since I don't want a purple mark but still. To check if I'm dreaming of having a partner. hahaha

That's the thing that literally every abusive person ever says when they're about to get dumped.

id say dibs on your stuff then

Be there for your abuser?
